I hate the fact that supermarkets have killed the local shop/grocer, when I was growing up there were five independent shops on Worsbrough High Street which all seemed to do well, each one being better for a certain thing than the other, I think there's just a co-op on there now.

But you have to consider the prices, the likes of Tesco have such great buying power, don't think they are making that much off each individual item, it's just the sheer volume they sell in, and to be honest you generally can't knock the quality of stuff. Plus a lot of small companies supply to them so the money does filter down, just maybe not as much as it should but that's another debate.

Where basic necessities are concerned I don't think you can knock the supermarkets, for everything else though I'd recommend people use independent small businesses wherever they can - such as getting your car serviced etc. Why the f*ck people use places like Halfords for a service is beyond me, the "mechanics" there would know nothing without their fancy gizmos and Google.

Halfords is just like a supermarket. No difference at all.
